ASM CommentaryDock Problems - Version: 2.2.10, 6/24/2009 09:26PM PST

I had previously tried ASM but had problems with the dock which would sink about halfway below the bottom edge of the screen or would disappear. Hoping that a later version would not have the problem, I downloaded version 2.2.10. Unfortunately, the problem persists to some degree. While it works when starting up from my internal drive, if I start from a cloned backup on an external drive, the problem returns. I emailed the developer, but it has been over a week and I have not heard from him. I sent a second email.

ASM continues the very functional user interface from the system 9 Application Switcher Menu.

This brilliant piece of software makes it so easy to jump between open applications it should have been included as part of the OSX operating system.

I've used Macs since the early 1980's and for 15 years made a living from graphic art, so you could say I'm more than the average Mac user. Without ASM I'd be driven up the wall.

Forcing users to use the dock to switch applications sucks. It's often difficult to see where your applications are and also which ones are open - especially with 50 or more items in the dock.

Without this indispensable utility, my efficiency would suffer greatly.

Come on Steve, most everything else about OSX is great - please admit you made a mistake about leaving this out of OSX and buy it from the developers. ;-)

On download, all you see is "Installer.app" I think this can cause confusion. Better to specify the app to which the installer relates.

A ReadMe inside the installer window would also be helpful, given the comments about why this version was needed.

And, since the app patches the system, an uninstaller would also seem a good idea. I don't want to go clicking the installer until I know what will happen next.
